MCQ
The volume of a metal sphere increases by $0.24\%$ when its temperature is raised by $40°C$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is .......... $°C$
  • $2 \times 10^{-5}$
  • B
    $6 \times 10^{-5}$
  • C
    $2.1 \times 10^{-5}$
  • D
    $1.2 \times 10^{-5}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$2 \times 10^{-5}$
a
(a) $\gamma = \frac{{\Delta V}}{{V.\Delta T}} = \frac{{0.24}}{{100 \times 40}} = 6 \times {10^{ - 5}}°C^{-1}$

$\Rightarrow$ $\alpha = \frac{\gamma }{3} = 2 \times {10^{ - 5}}°C^{-1}$
